That would be like trying to reboot I Love Lucy.
After she split with Desi, even she had only semi-success in her later two comedy series.
Some things are identified as classic for a reason.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a remake of the Jeffersons with an all white redneck cast.

There was a show just like that.
Can’t remember the title, though.

The new series, which premieres on Netflix Jan. 6, focuses on a Latino family with a female Army veteran at its center.
And therein is the very reason most remakes do to take -- the producers/writers PC the characters and themes.

Lear told Variety. There is a possibility that well do All in the Family, Maude, The Jeffersons, Good Times.’... One Day at a Time,
Dear God, make it stop.
Can’t anyone in Hollywood come up with a NEW IDEA or something that at least isn’t a reboot???
And ENOUGH with the Comic Book Super Hero movies for crying out loud!

Here's another jerk libtard that just needs to stay gone. Norman lear led a one man crusade to undermine the moral values of our country and used TV shows as his soap box.
Nothing good can come out of the founder of "people for the American way" getting the spotlight again.

I’ve caught a few Maude reruns on one of the retro channels.
I was a kid when it ran initially so most of what Beach Arthur was for didn’t register.
Now armed with some sense, Maude is at best absurd.
I forgot that Mr. Drummond was in it.

I don’t know about Archie and Mike. I’m betting on Frank Lorenzo.

Norman Lear is a flaming left wing moonbat.
*This* is why they’re talking about bringing these shows back *now*
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/norman-lear-trump-archie-bunker-223875
All of those shows served the purpose of portraying conservatives as mouth breathing, bigoted xenophobes, worthy of mockery and scorn.
In fact, do you know what channel carries All In The Family reruns, now?
The fag channel, LOGO.
All the homos watch this stuff as ‘hipster irony’.
This is just another front in the ever-accelerating war against conservatives.
Lear is a subversive maggot.

Yes, and that’s not kosher today.................

All in the Family? If they actually put a show with a conservative mouthpiece mocking the looney left snowflakes on TV this Fall, Trump would be getting the biggest win in modern media... because there is no way there would ever even think of letting that happen if Hillary had won.
